Distributive Property with Equations

Solve: -7(x - 6) = -70

• x = 16

• x = -16

• x = 8

• x = -1/2

Solve 1/2(4x - 6) = 7

• 14

• 7

• 5

• 2

6 ( 2n + 5 ) = 66

• x = 3

• x = 5.08

• x = 8

• x = 432

Distributive property equations are equations when you are _________ one term with another 2 or more terms inside parentheses.

6(3x-5) -7x=25

• x= 5

• x= 6

• x= -5

• x= -6

The first step to solving a distributive property equation is to __________ the number before the parenthesis.

7w-3(4w+8)=11

• w= 3

• w= 9

• w= -7

• w= 7
